2014 - Random Curiosity

Cherrie November 17, 2014 November 17, 2014 Akame ga Kill / First Impressions

Akame ga Kill – 20

「修羅を斬る」 (Shura wo Kiru)
“Kill Shura”

I’m not a manga-reader; but I’ve heard that since last episode, the anime has deviated quite a bit from the original story.

Cherrie November 17, 2014 November 17, 2014 First Impressions / Sailor Moon Crystal

Sailor Moon Crystal – 10

「Moon -月-」 (Moon –Tsuki-)
“Moon”

I’m still amazed by how different this original version of Sailor Moon is compared to the original anime.

Passerby November 17, 2014 November 17, 2014 First Impressions / Grisaia no Kajitsu

Grisaia no Kajitsu – 07

「幸せの手紙」 (Shiawase no Tegami)
“Letter of Happiness”

For better or worse, the anime version of the Sachi route did not exactly go off with a bang.

Takaii November 17, 2014 November 17, 2014 First Impressions / Sword Art Online

Sword Art Online II – 19

「絶剣」 (Zekken)
“Absolute Sword”

I think this was my favorite episode of Sword Art Online yet — yes even more than the one when Kirito decided it was okay to finally use TWO SWORDS AT THE SAME TIME.

Stilts November 16, 2014 November 16, 2014 First Impressions / Log Horizon

Log Horizon 2 – 07

「水楓(すいふう)の乙女たち」 (Mizu Kaede (Sui Fuu) no Otome-tachi)
“The Maidens of Watermaple”

Akatsuki comes out of her shell as the twenty-six maidens of Watermaple prepare to face down the raid boss in their city.

Divine November 16, 2014 November 16, 2014 First Impressions / Shirogane no Ishi Argevollen

Shirogane no Ishi Argevollen – 19

「決意」 (Ketsui)
“Resolve”

The questions surrounding “Perphevollen” were answered quickly this week, as the Evangelion-like Trail Kriegers do in fact function as a “hive mind”.

Takaii November 16, 2014 November 16, 2014 Fate/stay night / First Impressions

Fate/stay night Unlimited Blade Works – 06

「蜃気楼」 (Shinkirou)
“Mirage”

This episode felt like it was jumping around everywhere — and I didn’t really mind!

Passerby November 16, 2014 November 16, 2014 First Impressions / Mushishi

Mushishi Zoku Shou – 15

「光の緒」 (Hikari no O)
“Thread of Light”

This splendid robe, spun from the finest silk, is visible only to the wise.

Samu November 15, 2014 November 15, 2014 First Impressions / World Trigger

World Trigger – 06

「雨取千佳のサイドエフェクト」(Ame to Chika no Saido Efekuto)
“Amatori Chika’s Side Effect”

I feel like every third episode of World Trigger is going to annoy me. The pattern is certainly emerging, but I do hope I’m proven wrong next time around.
